Lakewood Church has confirmed that police were called to their bookstore Thursday morning after a man came in and started throwing books around.

The incident happened about 20 minutes after the store opened at 9 a.m., a church spokesperson said. On-site authorities acted right away.

"The guy shows up and starts throwing books around and kicking stuff over," said Lakewood spokesperson Don Iloff. "Fortunately we have police officers on the premises almost all the time. He was quickly subdued."

Lakewood called the event a minor disruption, as no customers were inside at the time. It's unclear if the man was targetting Lakewood specifically.

"He was kind of incoherent," said Iloff.

Houston Police Department confirm they were called to Lakewood Church at 9:15 a.m. Thursday and say one man, Michael David Fletcher, 30, was taken into custody.

"A male suspect began shouting and knocking things over," said HPD spokesperson Jodi Silva. "Lakewood has off-duty officers who provide security and they got him under control. Houston Police arrived and took him into custody."
